As the next stop on my literary tour of my childhood reading list, Where She Went sticks out as a book that has withstood the test of time, distance, and experience. Well worth a re-read.

"Hate me. Devastate me. Annihilate me. Re-create me. Re-create me. Won't you, won't you won't you re-create me."

I liked this book, it was a good sequel to the last one, and I liked the portrayal of grief through Adam's songs. I'm also still trying to finish the lyrics to Adam's songs, which is saying something. I need a full version of the songs please!!
